Answers to: Using Sentinel-2 imagery?https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery<p>This topic is probably more suitable to be discussed in the talk-legal mailing list, I suppose.</p>
<p>I have seen it being mentioned in the user diaries (<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/PlaneMad/diary/37816">for example</a>) and in some OSM-related blogs (<a href="http://blog.imagico.de/more-images-for-mapping-in-osm/">for example</a>).</p>
<p>But I have came across some arguments saying that there's ambiguity in the license, so probably just no, I guess. Sorry, I am not so sure if I understood all that legalese.</p>
<p>So I would like to know if it is fine to use Sentinel-2 as a tracing layer. If it is OK, then my mapping area could benefit from it.</p>enSun, 13 Jan 2019 18:41:08 +0000Answer by SimonPoolehttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery/67571<p>This is a rather old question, in the mean time Sentiel-2 imagery is in use for at least China and other areas without hires imagery. </p>
<p>As to supporting it in editors: the problem is that somebody would have to curate a current layer and create a tool chain to easily update it (from a disk space pov this wouldn't be a big issue).</p>SimonPooleSun, 13 Jan 2019 18:41:08 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery/67571Comment by InsertUser on AkuAnakTimur's questionhttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67570<p><a href="https://forum.openstreetmap.org/">https://forum.openstreetmap.org/</a></p>InsertUserSun, 13 Jan 2019 18:09:20 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67570Comment by rene78 on AkuAnakTimur's questionhttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67569<p>OSM needs a proper forum. Those mailing lists are cumbersome in my opinion. But yeah, you are right - not really an answer to the question.</p>rene78Sun, 13 Jan 2019 15:34:15 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67569Comment by aseerel4c26 on AkuAnakTimur's questionhttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67568<p>Hi rene78, this is not really an answer to the question (legality of use). Please post as a comment - if at all.</p>aseerel4c26Sun, 13 Jan 2019 15:24:41 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67568Comment by rene78 on AkuAnakTimur's questionhttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67567<p>Would be great, if it could be implemented as a map layer in iD. The imagery is very up-to-date (check <a href="https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playground">Sentinel Hub Playground</a> to get an idea)! There is <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/56373446">a way to get the image into JOSM</a>, but it is not really straightforward. The imagery is rather low-res, but definitely useful to add major construction sites to the map.</p>rene78Sun, 13 Jan 2019 15:00:21 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#67567Comment by AkuAnakTimur on AkuAnakTimur's questionhttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#48387<p>So, I just found recently that there's a mention about GMES/Copernicus on the wiki - <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#EU_Copernicus_.28GMES.29_data">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#EU_Copernicus_.28GMES.29_data</a></p>
<p>Guess we could use them.</p>AkuAnakTimurSat, 27 Feb 2016 18:10:01 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48230/using-sentinel-2-imagery#48387
